The US invented this by forcing all infrastructure to be designed around owning an automobile. Fuck that shit.

Why are they queuing up like it's the only open McDonalds drive-through in a major city? Why are there yellow-vested people at the end and what are they doing? Why doesn't anyone see the ridiculously long line from the road and tell their kid to walk the last hundred yards of to the school?

Kid'll get in trouble. It's considered unsafe.

What could possibly be unsafe about walking across a small patch of grass?

I think it's more that America is fucking huge. I was right on the county line, so my school was a fifteen minute drive. I don't think parents in the Netherlands would be super stoked about their kid biking twelve miles at 6am either tbh.

It's walking across the traffic in the parking lot that's considered unsafe.

And if everyone starts dropping their kids off in the road, that's not really solving the problem, it's just moving it into the road.

I don't know when the video was taken, but if it's recent, then not letting the kid walk from the street has nothing to do with it being "unsafe" due to cars or accidents. Those people going from car to car in front of the school are probably taking temperatures before allowing the kids to enter. If you've got a fever, you can't come in.

'Cause, y'know, global pandemic and everything.

Wouldn't it be more efficient to construct a short, parallel road for picking up/dropping off kids at the main road instead of that risible monstrosity?

According to one of the comments, this was actually an experiment to see if it was more efficient than their usual way of doing things.

It was not.

Yeah the pick up/drop off line sucks. I picked up my kid a few times and you have to get there 30 minutes early so you can be one of the first ones. Otherwise you'll be stuck in the line forever.

Believe me, I wanted to park a block away and just tell him to walk to me so I could avoid it all but the school would not allow it.

Wow.
When I was a kid, I walked a few blocks to a bus stop, boarded any bus that would come and would eventually pass one specific bus stop, and on that bus stop I'd wait up to 30 minutes for the bus that'd pass my home, and that bus ride could take almost an hour. I'm not joking.

Can't imagine being proud of living in a car dominated suburban hellscape where the nearest store is 20 miles away
If the nearest store is 20 miles away you ain't living in the suburbs.
